Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) announced on the 4th that it is holding the ‘LH National Rental Housing Life Story Essay Contest’ to commemorate the 20th anniversary of moving into national rental housing, and will accept submissions until the 29th.

‘National rental housing’ refers to rental housing with an exclusive area of 60㎡ or less, constructed and supplied by LH with support from national finances and the National Housing Fund to support housing stability for households in income brackets 1 to 4. It is supplied at an affordable price, approximately 60 to 80% of the market price.

Since starting supply in August 2001 with 341 units in Jeongja, Suwon, LH has supplied a total of 693 complexes and 512,000 units as of August this year.

This essay contest is held on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of moving into national rental housing, with the theme of various stories experienced in national rental housing.

The contest is open to LH national rental housing residents and staff of the Housing Happiness Support Centers (management offices), and those who have previously lived in national rental housing are also eligible to participate.

Submissions can freely describe various experiences such as living reviews, community activities within the complex, or episodes with residents encountered while working, and can be submitted up to a maximum of 5 pages based on A4 size.

For judging, an internal and external panel of judges will be formed, and winning works will be selected in order of highest scores by calculating the arithmetic average of scores from each judge.

A total of 32 works will be selected, 16 in each category (residents and Housing Happiness Support Center staff), and winners will receive the LH President’s Award along with prize money. Additionally, participants who do not win will be given gift certificates (worth 20,000 KRW) through a lottery.

Submissions are accepted until 3 PM on the 29th, and the winning works will be announced on the contest website on November 25.

Ha Seung-ho, Head of LH Housing Welfare Headquarters, said, “This contest was held to share the diverse and warm housing life stories experienced by residents and staff in national rental housing on the 20th anniversary of moving in, and to discover and share their value and meaning.”
